The touch of god

Unblock The River has you miraculously preventing natural disasters with just your finger

It's not beavers and their dams that are your problem in Unblock The River, but huge chunks of land.

This free puzzle game gives you the might of an interfering god performing miracles against the will of nature.

The rivers of the world are blocked. And so, with just your finger, you rearrange the land to unblock them.

But this is not a test of strength as much as it is brain power. The chunks of land form tetromino-like shapes that you'll need to shuffle to solve the puzzle.

Your only goal is to ensure that a clear path can be travelled from the top of the level to the bottom. You only have one minute to do so.

It starts off easy enough as you whiz through the levels in less than five seconds at a time. Later on, when you near the end of the 100 puzzles, you'll be cursing those time restrictions.

It's at its best when it makes you panic.

You think you've brute-forced a solution to then find out it isn't one. You glance at the clock - 15 seconds left - and shriek and fumble to find a way to solve the level.

Unblock The River is an engaging puzzler that you can download for free on iOS right now. It's supported by adverts and a Pro upgrade that costs £1.99 / $2.99.
